Adventures in the Kitchen, Part II
Yesterday I tried cooking again. You’d think it would be an intuitive thing, but either I was born with a defective culinary intuition or it has to be learned. Because I’ve been struggling much more than I think I should. I tried to fry okra and it took me two hours because earlier when I tried boiling beans I learned that I can’t multitask in the kitchen because I get distracted and forget that there’s water boiling or cookies in the oven or whatever it may be. (The cookies did turn out okay though— gotta love slice & bake.) I also managed to set off the fire alarm twice and now the entire apartment smells like grease. I think it saturated my clothes and skin too, because I felt greasy until I showered.
